Topic: Installing siduction besides Win10 (Read 783 times)

Hi Folks,finally I got it - booting siduction 17.0.1 from usb-stick on my wife's new ideapad 110.But when I started gparted it showed me 7 partitions obviously used by win10 - wondering.

My question, which partition can I use for installing system and eventually swap without harming windows? Is it sure to shrink dev/sdb3 by gparted and then using the newly created partition? Screenshot attached.

It's not an answer to your question but an alternative to be able to play around with your wifes computer

If you don't want to risk messing with your wifes computer and hard disk it could be an idea to by a hdd caddy and (temporary) replace the dvd drive with the hdd caddy and mount a spare hard disk in that. I do use hdd caddys on my Thinkpads. Now I don't know if it's the same easy to switch between dvd drive and hdd caddy on your ideapad as it is on my Thinkpads but ther are hdd caddys for Ideapad 110, like this : http://hddcaddy.com/en/lenovo-ibm-hdd-caddy/1654-lenovo-ideapad-110-hdd-caddy.html

Even if you do use a hdd caddy you obviously would need to be careful to check that you install your linux on the right harddisk.
